ABCD Prospective Nationwide Liraglutide Audit

This audit was established in the wake of the success of the original ABCD nationwide exenatide audit. Learning from the exenatide audit a considerably improved tool for the audit was created and the audit was launched in the Autumn of 2009. The audit has a number of objectives. After a second data cut in September 2011 data was available for analysis on 4129 patients submitted by 265 contributors from 77 centres. This data is currently being analysed. For the latest list of papers, abstracts, presentations, posters and webcasts click here. Access to these is partial except to ABCD members and contributors to the audit who can obtain full access through the liraglutide audit subweb.

The audit is still in its earliest stages and is ongoing. The audit tool is undergoing a considerable upgrade and is soon to become web based. For more information contributors should visit the liraglutide audit subweb.

The tool has inbuilt the following facilities:

  • A calculations page summarizing data on your patients

  • A chart page which automatically presents the data in your patients in graphical form

  • A facility to export the data and the charts automatically and automatically create a PowerPoint presentation of your data

  • A button to export the data to a file to send the anonymized data to the ABCD Audit
